HISTORY:

The obverse depicts Miss Liberty walking toward the sun, her right arm outstretched, her left arm carrying a bundle of branches, and with a starry cape behind. LIBERTY is above, while IN GOD WE TRUST is to the lower right, and the date is below. The motif seems to have been inspired by Saint-Gaudens motif for the illustrious double eagle of 1907. The reverse shows an eagle perched on a rocky crag, from which grows a pine branch, symbol of strength. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is above, E PLURIBUS UNUM is to the left, and HALF DOLLAR is below. During the first two years of issue, the mintmark appeared on the obverse, beneath the motto "In God We Trust". Midway through 1917, it was moved to the reverse, near the edge at the 7 o'clock position resulting in both Obverse and Reverse mintmark varieties for that year.
